Happy 2012!
Did you have a good time ringing in the New Year?
You are mistaken if you believe the holidays are over my friends because today I am celebrating my BIRRRTHday! As I reflect back on my, ahem, sixteen-plus years there are times that I doubt I've learned anything {like driving through our garage a few years ago} & then there are those times when I marvel at how far I have come {like owning my own business}. I know, mostly for women, there are doubts & fears about growing older but for me one of the plus sides of blowing out birthday candles is that little fact that every year you become more & more "unapologetically" you.
I've learned in my sixteen-plus years that it's okay...............
*that I'll never be a morning person. Eventually, after some time, your loved ones will grant you a lifetime pass & start to ignore all the vulgar insults & two-year old tantrums you throw while half-comatose. Either that or they just start to fear for their lives.
*to be a grown adult & still want your mommy when your heads hanging over the porcelain god. {Thank you stomach flu for so graciously welcoming me into 2012 and no that's not code for "hangover"}.
*to be 16-plus year old & still have no idea what you want to be when you grow up.
*to never know how the hell to fold a fitted sheet.
*to only shave your legs in the winter for special occasions....like an invitation to the White House.
*to love your pets sometimes more than you love people.
*to let go of the life you planned because sometimes not being in control is one of the most beautiful things in the world
